The Saints would have the right to match any offer Hargrove might sign with another team. Or if they chose not to match an offer, they would receive a third-round draft pick as compensation -- Hargrove's original draft round.

This is the first visit Hargrove has lined up, but other teams have also reportedly shown some interest in the five-year veteran, who resurrected his career with the Saints last season after serving a one-year suspension for repeated violations of the league's substance abuse policy.

The 6-foot-3, 272-pounder played in every game for the Saints, starting six of them and serving mostly as a pass-rush specialist. He had five sacks, a forced fumble and three fumble recoveries, one of which was for a touchdown.

Hargrove and tailback Mike Bell are the only two Saints restricted free agents who have lined up visits elsewhere so far.
